National Night Out Celebration In Cinnaminson Set For Tuesday Night

CINNAMINSON, NJ — National Night Out is upon us. Cinnaminson’s annual National Night Out celebration is set for Tuesday, Aug. 1, 6 p.m.-9 p.m. at Memorial Park, with a fireworks show set for 9:15 p.m.

The event will include a professional BMX Bike Show. There will be police cars, fire trucks, military vehicles, face painting, an XFinity Inflatable Fun Zone, ice cream, shaved ice, pulled pork, cheeseburgers, chicken burritos, hot dogs, soft pretzels and much more. There will also be live music courtesy of ShopRite and DJ Doug Kirkwood.

Parking will be available in the Memorial Park parking lot on Fork Landing Road. JC Tours will also provide busing from the Cinnaminson Middle School and Saint Charles Borromeo Church parking lots, police said. This will assist with parking congestion for the event.

Chris Stem will be there taking orders for his "Curbside Creations," a group that assists in making residents’ street addresses more visible for everyone including emergency personnel. Others that will participate include Case's Pork Roll and Able Equipment Rental.

Cinnaminson police will be selling t-shirts to benefit the township’s inaugural Relay for Life event. T-shirts will cost $14, and will range in size from youth small to XXXL. The police department said if it runs out of shirts that night, it will order more.

National Night Out is an initiative in which people in towns across the country gather at their homes, on their streets and at their local community centers in recognition of their support of the community.

Local state and federal officials from 15,728 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide joined forces to celebrate the 33rd annual National Night Out (NNO) – a community crime and safety event sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, ADT, Nextdoor.com, Association and Fun Flicks. Throughout the nation, along with the traditional ‘lights on’ and front porch vigils, there were tens of thousands of block parties, cookouts, and parades.
